A note on yesterday's Transport Select Committee session - we're really disappointed that the Rail Minister misrepresented our agreements with various operators.
It's not good enough.
This dispute needs to be resolved but that must happen with honesty and respect.

๐ฃ๏ธโItโs not on.โ
๐Chair of our Rail North Committee @AndyBurnhamGM today criticised the service levels of @AvantiWestCoast across the North West.
๐He told Board members that cancellations are damaging the economy of @greatermcr.

Solidarity with all of our members on picket lines up and down the country today taking a stand for fair pay.
They want to know where the transport secretary is and why heโs not working to resolve the dispute.
โWe will talk to anyone. But, at the moment, they will not talk to us. And each likes to blame the other. They are happy, clearly, for industrial action to continue. And for passengers to suffer." @MickWhelanASLEF

@Mark_J_Harper since the offer (which contained our red lines) was made, we have received overwhelming mandates, on enormous turnouts, for more industrial action!
@Mark_J_Harper, the members have spoken. It's time to step up to the mark, stop hiding and get back to the negotiating table
@Mark_J_Harper Why do you keep lying. Tell the truth about this dispute. It's not about money. You want to push us into the ground. I've not had a payrise for 4years. Have you ? I do not work a 4day week. Grow up man. Sit and talk like an adult. #aslef
@Mark_J_Harper I'll save you the postage. I Vote NO on the last derogatory offer for Train Drivers. Why do you think we'd accept it ? Wake up man #aslef
@greateranglia Can someone amend your Whiteboard handwritten message at Wickford Station please. Driver's are not choosing to work overtime today, we're NOT on Strike ! Thankyou. #aslef
